Experiment 8 — Balance the Equation

Try it in the interactive lab🔊 Audio

Topic: Chemistry · Class 10 · Chemical reactions and equations

Aim: Balance the equation Fe + H₂O → Fe₃O₄ + H₂ with the smallest whole numbers.

Daily: A balanced equation is how a chemist calculates how much raw material a factory needs and how much product it will get. Getting it wrong wastes tonnes of material.

Question: Why can you not balance an equation by changing H₂O into H₂O₂?

Exp: Only coefficients may be adjusted; the compounds are fixed.

Question: Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu is an example of…

Exp: A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one.

Exp: It absorbs energy from sunlight.

Question: In a redox reaction, the substance that gains oxygen is…

Exp: The other one is reduced.

Question: The symbol (aq) means the substance is…
